Lol. The owners get what they pay for, don't they?
I wonder how many of the Raider players actually live in Oakland.

“If the NFL had a mercy rule, Oakland would never play a game.”

I would argue the NFL does have a mercy rule, but imposed by the refs. The timing of bad calls, non-call calls, and spotting the ball are all ways the refs ‘keep the game fair and interesting’ to the fans; as they are unofficially told by the higher ups.
